How I Fixed My Problem Areas - Weightloss

No matter how many squats, lunges and dead lifts I do, that area "you know" just above the back of your legs and just under your lower back is still a problem area for me! It wasn't until I switched from my treadmill to a stationary bike that I started to notice an improvement in the appearance of my "problem area"!   I also found that since I have been using the bike my thighs look more tight and toned!  Talk about a good workout!

I also added some resistance bands to my exercises routine to help tone up some stubborn areas and so far so good!  Also, I started doing a few of the latest Jillian Micheal's DVD's and let me tell you, the results have been not short of fantastic for me.  Additionally, I found that alternating between free weights and resistance bands helps create nice definition in my muscles.   I have done a lot surfing the net in search of weight loss products to see if they can lead to greater results.  Consequently, I am still doing my research.  I have looked at several products from hcg to fat burners.  

In addition to regular exercise I have found it equally important to observe a healthy diet.  Research shows that "People who eat the greatest number of servings of minimally processed whole-grain foods—not snack foods, like crackers, cookies, and chips—enjoy the biggest weight-control benefits."  Aim to increase your intake of brown and wild rice, bulgur, oatmeal, spelt, and quinoa, plus whole-grain breads and cereals. “Not only do most of these healthy whole grains contain fiber, which helps curb your appetite, but they’re also low on the glycemic index [GI]," says Sasson. “The carbs in low-GI foods are absorbed into your bloodstream slowly, allowing you to go longer without feeling hungry."
